I am not sure this is the right place to post this but here goes... I have possession of one of the first Josh West cues (so I am told). The person who gave me the stick 25 years ago, only told me that he knew the guy who made it. Anyway, what I call the "butt plate" was chipped when I got it and I would like to get it replaced. I fear that the integrity of the workmanship might be at risk. I can say this, after shooting pool for 40 years, this is still the best stick I have ever used. On the "butt plate" it has a "J" with a sideways "W" and I do not want to lose that. The only way to replace it is to have the stick authenticated and the maker make a new one. Any suggestions on how to contact him? I can be reached at slcairns@cox.net.
